Depth Chart News

Depth Chart NewsYesterday we saw a depth chart for the first time since fall camp started and I found several interesting items.

The left guard spot looks like it is still up for grabs as senior Reid WebsterReid WebsterRS Sr. Offensive Tackle#77 6-3, 300Woodstock, GAView Full Profile and junior Eric MacLain are listed as co-starters. David BeasleyDavid BeasleyRS Sr. Offensive Guard#68 6-4, 323Columbus, GAView Full Profile is suspended for the Georgia game but I am sure he will join the competition next week against South Carolina State.

Garry PetersGarry PetersRS Sr. Cornerback#26 6-0, 194Conyers, GAView Full Profile is suspended for Saturday's game and this has caused a shakeup at corner. I am not surprised MacKensie AlexanderMacKensie AlexanderRS Fr. Cornerback#2 5-11, 190Immokalee, FLView Full Profile is the starter at one corner but his backup is Cordrea Tankersly. Heading into camp Tankersly was listed as a starter at the opposite corner but Martin JenkinsMartin JenkinsRS Sr. Cornerback#14 5-9, 185Roswell, GAView Full Profile is the new starter there.

Nothing was released yesterday on the one safety spot still up for grabs. Jayon Kearse and Jadar JohnsonJadar JohnsonSo. Defensive Back#18 6-1, 207Orangeburg, SCView Full Profile are listed as co-starters at that position. It seems fairly obvious this battle will continue for a few weeks.

It appears Germone HopperGermone HopperRS So. Wide Receiver#5 6-0, 175Charlotte, NCView Full Profile has worked his way back up the depth chart after being suspended in the spring. The Charlotte native is now listed as a backup to Charone PeakeCharone PeakeRS Jr. Wide Receiver#19 6-3, 204Moore, SCView Full Profile.

We have heard a lot of cross training at several offensive line spots throughout camp and the depth chart indicates that. Joe GoreJoe GoreRS Jr. Offensive Tackle#73 6-5, 283Lake Waccamaw, NCView Full Profile is listed as the starting right tackle and the backup left tackle behind Isaiah BattleIsaiah BattleJr. Offensive Tackle#79 6-7, 285Brooklyn, NYView Full Profile. Kalon DavisKalon DavisRS Sr. Offensive Guard#67 6-5, 340Chester, SCView Full Profile is listed as the starting right guard but is also the back up to Gore at right tackle.

Barring a change it looks like junior SAM linebacker Travis BlanksTravis BlanksJr. Safety#11 6-0, 210Tallahassee, FLView Full Profile is headed for a redshirt season. His knee has not responded as he had hoped since the torn ACL last fall. I spoke with Blanks and he said he does not yet have the explosiveness in his knee and wants to get back to full motion. He also indicated he will graduate this May in only three years and will have two degrees when he leaves Clemson. Blanks will have two years of eligibility remaining after this season.
